Description: In 1981-82, women workers at three factories launched occupations to oppose closure. As a result, none of the sites closed completely. In Fighting Deindustrialisation, the occupations are analysed together for the first time, illustrating the complexities of class, gender, and community based experiences of closure in later 20th century Scotland.
